AFAIK the package is called "libpdflite5". I have deb http://ftp.debian-unofficial.org/debian sid main contrib non-free restricted in my sources.list and I find $ apt-cache policy libpdflite5 libpdflite5: Installed: (none) Candidate: 6.0.3-1duo+etch1 Version table: 6.0.3-1duo+etch1 0 500 http://ftp.debian-unofficial.org sid/non-free Packages I think you will still have to compile gnuplot yourself to enable pdf terminal support. I was always to lazy for that, so I just use set terminal postscript eps enhanced color solid rounded set output "plotname.eps" and add one line to the end of my gnuplot scripts: !epstopdf plotname.eps && rm plotname.eps That will give you nice, compact PDF plots with far less hassle. (epstopdf is included in the package "tetex-bin") I can send you a complete example script off-list if you want. -- Regards, Florian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
